Notes Content: Water coolers, water filters, rectifiers, circulating drinking water systems, shell and tube exchangers and condensers, tanks and coils ; "Filtrine is also proud of its reputation around the world as a problem solver in the cooling of liquids. Prior to the advent of electric refrigeration, Filtrine filters and ice coolers were installed around the country for both drinking water and process water applications. In 1925 we designed and built one of the first electric coolers and introduced the storage-type cooling tank still featured on all Filtrine chillers. This coil-in-tank evaporator proved to be virtually freeze-proof, a feature which appealed to major compressor manufacturers such as Carrier, York and Frigidaire who began specifying Filtrine cooling tanks with their condensing units. During the 1930's and 40's Filtrine entered the field of process cooling, developing the first packaged units for film processing and dough making. Working closely with the U.S. Army engineers during World War II we designed a batch-type ingredient water chiller for government bakeries." http://www.filtrinemfg.com/about.htmIncludes: Trade catalogBlack and white imagesPhysical Description: 19 pieces; 1 box
